NGSport

Optimal sports regimen for life

The NGSport test allows the development of highly effective customized training and diet suitable for the specifics of your genome. The study analyzes set of genes related to three major factors determining sporting performance: strength and endurance; risk of trauma and injuries; recovery options.

With NGSport you will be able to choose the right sport and workout routines to achieve high results and reduce the risk of injuries. The results will give you details of the individual possibilities of the body related to:

Once the test is done the obtained results will be valid throughout your life.

Obtaining a DNA sample is painless, doesn’t require taking blood and is completely safe procedure. It is done at home without the intervention of medical practitioner. All you have to do is rub the inside of your cheek with the sterile cotton swabs you will find in the test kit that you will receive when ordering a test.

The results of the study will be completed within 4 to 6 weeks from the date of sample submission. You will receive e-mail informing you of the way you can access them. The cost of the study includes consultation with genetics practitioner trained in the reading of the results to help you understand your genetic potential in detail and identify specific ways for its realization.

A large percentage of differences in sports potential are due to genetic factors. Individual responses to training and exercise (whether aerobic or anaerobic), recovery rates and trauma can be explained to some extend by gene variations.

Despite the obvious fact that we are all different, most training programs follow almost the same formula: aerobic exercise for cardiovascular health and weight reduction, weight-lifting exercises for muscle strength and weight gain. Based on scientific findings in recent years, however, it is already known that in order to achieve optimal training results, the relationship between endurance and strength training should be different for different people even if they have the same goals. This information defines the key role of genetic testing as part of the methods used to create training programs customized for the individual characteristics of the person intended.

If you do not achieve the desired physical form, despite the efforts you make, the factors that deter you might be coded in your genome. Depending on the individual genetic profile, the body’s response to training is different. One can take more or less physical effort; respond better to longer and moderate or shorter and intensive training; react differently to various nutrients, ingredients, etc. If you want to find sport and exercise program that will allow you to make the most of your sporting potential, you need to understand the genes that define it.

This can happen through NGSport – a DNA test that analyzes key genes linked to sport performance.

NGSport tests for genes in three categories related to sports performance success:

The “Strength and Endurance” section examines genes encoding physiological factors such as blood pressure, blood pressure control, strength, cardiac an lung capacity, muscle fiber type specialization, muscle metabolism and adaptability to exercise regimens. All of these factors have an impact on strength and endurance.

The “Injury predisposition” section focuses on genes involved in the structural integrity of soft tissues in the body. Certain genetic variations determine the degree of predisposition to tendon trauma (including the Achilles tendon), as well as ligaments, cartilage and bone pathologies.

The genes examined in the “Recovery” section prove that health care and physical fitness of athletes should be a combination of good physical practice and diet. The genes tested here determine the predisposition of the body to inflammation and stress caused by free radicals, meaning there is a need for more specialized diet as well as longer recovery periods between exercise and training.

Upon request of 3 or 4 genetic tests for the same person, you have the opportunity to get 20% discount on the price. The condition of discount is related to the technological process in genetic testing – part of the process is done only once, instead of several times. If you would like to take advantage of this option, please contact us before ordering.

Family Package – when ordering a minimum of 3 tests for three separate family members, you have the option of 10% discount. If you would like to take advantage of this option, please contact us before ordering.
